| It has been proposed that the most recent common ancestor between cnidarians and bilaterians would have been morphologically similar to a pennatulacean anthozoan. |
| The life cycles of the hydrozoans P. carnea and Hydractinia echinata and a representative anthozoan. |
| Schematic view of a transverse section of the late planula of the anthozoan Euphyllia rugosa. |
| The chaetetids compose a small group of organisms that was most often presumed to be among the anthozoan corals, more specifically allied to the Tabulata. |
| It is not homologous with the bilaterality of body plans characteristic of anthozoan groups. |
| Anthozoans are readily available on coral reefs therefore it's not surprising that anthozoan tissue is their main diet. |
